“A warm experience”
Convenient location to visit the Cave Temples on foot, and a walk to Bindunu Wewa Lake at sunset is also recommended. The house is surrounded by greenery in an extremely peaceful setting, and the stay includes a truly delicious dinner prepared by the host in the form of a cooking class. What remains as the most beautiful memory is the host’s incredible helpfulness, thoughtfulness, and kindness, with whom we also had the chance to share some fun and convivial moments. Highly recommended by Anita and Tommaso :))

The Location is very nice, a local area, quiet and friendly. From here you can easily walk to the Golden Temple-2,5km.The staff has also a tuktuk, he can bring you easily to everywhere close by. They will also help you to arrange a trip to the tourist spots. Sadly there are no cooking classes. Restaurants are 10-15 min. walk from the Guesthouse. The room was very clean, enough space to put your things somewhere.
